Your $200 ticket helps support the nonprofit work of CCAN Action Fund.” Our Tesla Model 3’s battery just died, leaving us stuck at 0% and facing a massive repair bill. In Part 1, we discovered the “rebalance” the dealer promised was a lie, and the battery was toast. Now, in this video, we remove the dead battery ourselves to prep for the swap… but when the replacement battery arrives, then it gets worse… For sponsorship inquiries contact us here - [email protected] For other EV issues/questions - [email protected] My E-mail: [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richiebkidd/ Mailbox: Rich Rebuilds P.O.
